Pierced

Imperfect as we are, how can we
begin to grasp the intensity
of His pain, that immense agony
of suffering for humanity?

To be unblemished, yet have to be
the one to bear such cruel mockery,
body nailed to a cross unjustly,
His heart and soul pierced for you and me.

Andrea, your poem reminded me of thoughts I had years ago, soon after my son was born. How much love it took for God to allow his Son to be crucified for us. I would have taken my child back and pushed this planet into the Sun. Congrats and thanks for entering.

Honestly...the title made me think about ear and nose piercings and tattoos and stuff. But the poem totally blew me away...HIM in the poem warmed my heart and its a great start to my day. Absolutely wonderful Andrea:)
